Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that paves the way for parents in some California school districts to bring medical cannabis to their students at K-12 campuses, breaking with former Gov. Jerry Brown, who had vetoed similar legislation last year.When Jerry Brown is the voice of reason, you know you're in trouble.
The measure, signed late Wednesday, allows medical cannabis that is not in smoking or vaping form to be administered to students by parents on campus if their school board has approved a policy providing the access.
Newsom, the leading proponent of the 2016 recreational pot legalization initiative, Proposition 64, overruled the objections of law enforcement groups and signed the measure without comment.
Brown had said in a veto message that he was “concerned about the exposure of marijuana on youth” and “dubious of its use for youth for all ailments.”
Education, politics, and anything else that catches my attention.

I promise you someday, maybe sooner that we think, the vaping "crisis" with THC will bring about research that will show pot use and abuse by teenagers is responsible for a number of learning disabilities and even autism.
Have you seen this?
